Upon completion of the online registration process, an automated confirmation will be emailed to confirm your booking. Should you not be able to attend once you have booked your place, please let us know ASAP so that we can offer your place to someone else on the waiting list.

ESGCT may use written quotations submitted by you on the event Feedback forms in future marketing/promotional material. We will not identify you by name unless you give permission.
ESGCT may take photos and/or film parts of the Spring School (excluding scientific data, unless specific consent has been given). We post the photos on Flickr, and ESGCT, the partner societies, and Lumina may use the resulting photos and films on their websites and social medial accounts, and occasionally for online and printed marketing materials.
